At just 18 years old, Park Ji-hu has already picked up multiple awards for starring in Kim Bora's Indie film, House of Hummingbird, which was released in late 2018. Since winning over film critics, Park has gone on to steal the hearts of international viewers earlier this year, the actress' popularity soared thanks to the Netflix hit, All of Us Are Dead. The series was reportedly watched over 470 million hours in its first 30 days on the service and has since been renewed for a second season. And while it's going to be a while before the zombie apocalypse horror series returns, Park's fans can look forward to her upcoming show, Little Women, which has Singapore included in its list of filming locations.
Two notable projects you started your acting career with are the film House of Hummingbird and Netflix's All of Us Are Dead. How would you say each helped you develop as an actress and as a person?
House of Hummingbird was my debut appearance on the screen, and so it holds a deeper sense of meaning for me. It was first shown at the Busan International Film Festival, and the feeling of excitement and the meeting of fans was an unforgettable experience for me, even to this day. It was also a project that motivated me to continue acting. As for All of Us Are Dead, it was my first project that entailed working with quite a lot of actors and staff members, and so I learned and grew a lot through the process. It's also a project that I really delved into and where I had ruminations over my love of acting.
For the indie sensation House of Hummingbird, you received the recognition of critics and several best actress awards. All of Us Are Dead, on the other hand, propelled you into the international spotlight. Were these experiences similar or very different for you, and would you say you've experienced the best of both worlds in a short time?
